King Cerberus

King Cerberus is one of the bosses in Devil May Cry 5 that Dante has to face in mission 16. He's one of the strongest demons from the Cerberus race. After defeating him, Dante obtains the Devil Arm.

Description
King Cerberus appears as a giant, three-headed demonic hound that serves as a gatekeeper in the Underworld. Unlike his kin, that only wielded the power of ice, King Cerberus controls three elements: fire, ice and electricity. Hence his name, he is one of the strongest and the largest of the Cerberus race.

Story
Dante entered King Cerberus' domain and mocked him just like the last Cerberus. The King sensed Dante's last action after being mocked, but faces Dante in combat to prove himself as the last one he fought was weak.

File

 * Nico Enemy Report - King Cerberus
 * Everybody knows that when you see a big mutt with three heads, that there is a Cerberus. But Dante managed to run into the king of the whole bunch? That guy's movin' up in the world.


 * Well, you gotta hand it to the king&mdash;wielding fire, lightning, and ice ain't no mean feat.


 * But like all Cerberus, under all the king-this and your-majesty-that, he ain't nothing but a glorified guard dog.


 * Wonder if Urizen was upset about what happened to his pup.

Background
In Greek mythology, Cerberus is the hound of Hades, lord of the dead, and guards the underworld. He appears in the Divine Comedy as the guardian of the third circle of Hell, in which gluttons are punished by constant black rain and icy slush.

Trivia

 * During his battle, King Cerberus will sometimes reference demons from previous games by name, such as Berial and Bael.
